Intentional Learning, Together: Why We’re More Than A Training Program
Therefore I Learn is more than just a children’s yoga training program, it is a collaborative learning community. Earlier this year, we launched our new name and new website as part of our goal to offer a variety of trainings for both individuals interested in their own wellness and wellness professionals looking to continue their education. We started out as Polliwog Kids Yoga in 2018, and after immersing in yoga for young people, we realized we wanted to offer much more. While we still think children’s yoga teacher training is a valuable educational tool (we just launched our 95-hour advanced training), we don’t want to limit our offerings to kids yoga. As our virtual community grows, we hope to offer a variety of accessible, affordable courses that capitalize on each trainer’s unique experience and expertise as they share their passion with the community.
In yoga philosophy, Svadhyaya is the Sanskrit term for ‘self-study.’ Svadhyaya can be practiced in a variety of ways: studying a traditional text or book, reading a blog about something important to you, reflecting on your own thoughts during a yoga practice, or observing the way you interact with others. In every single role we have, there is always a reason to continue to learn from others and to observe the self. I am a yoga student, therefore I learn. I am a yoga instructor, therefore I learn. I am a daughter, a wife, a stepmother, therefore I learn. Without learning, without self-study, without svadhyaya, there is no growth. So, how did that transform into a business? We decided to create something that is built on the value we place on learning and self-study in hopes that it will become accessible to many.
What is a Collaborative Learning Community?
We intentionally created a virtual community where highly qualified trainers have created content and courses for students who are purposefully seeking quality wellness training. We value collaboration over competition in all aspects of our business, and believe that collaboration in learning and teaching is important. We all have something to share, and we can always learn from each other; this is something we never want our community members to forget. Our vision is to create more than just an educational experience. In our collaborative learning community, we want to bring together people who are also passionate about collaboration so that they can share their ideas and experiences with each other. Through connection with others, we want people to develop relationships and connect to those beyond just their own social bubble.
How You Can Benefit
As a trainee, you want to trust that you are choosing a training that is worth your investment. In our collaborative learning community, Therefore I Learn gives you access to instructors we trust with specialized knowledge and experience. The internet is filled with courses and trainings, and we know that can be overwhelming, so we have created a team of trainers we trust. We have found and vetted the trainers you will meet through TIL so that we know they will provide quality experiences to trainees. As a student, you will see that the variety of trainers offered by TIL allows you to grow and expand both as a person and professional.
Besides the sea of trainings on the web, we often find teachers who seem to know everything or want to be the master of it all. We don’t want anyone to feel obligated to only learn from one person, and we don’t want to be the world’s guru. We want to be the people who bring the community together and make it more accessible for others. When you choose to train with TIL, you have the freedom to purchase courses from the trainers you find you have a connection with, knowing that we have already vetted them for expertise in their chosen topic and worked with them to create an organized, inspired training that will be worth the money you spend.
Want to Create a Course?
As a yoga instructor, therapist, healer, or other wellness professional, you may have an idea for a course that you’d like to create. You don’t know where to start, and you don’t know how to take your ideas to the next level so that they can become a linear, engaging training. That’s where we come in! TIL works with those interested in teaching virtual courses to help them take their passions and develop them into actual classes. We help you learn how to train virtually in an organized, engaging way, and then we host your training and help you market.
When we work with those interested in training, we do so because we really believe in what they have to share with the world and want them to be able to share their offerings in a way that works for both them and those who purchase their course. We are looking for trainers that are interested in teaming up with us and sharing their gifts with the world.
